Please try to keep module imports, inputs, etc alphabetically sorted,
when they are so from before.

There is a test script shipped with the source, can you try replacing
the "check" phase with code that executes "./run_tests"?

So synopses should not end with punctuations, but descriptions do. `guix
lint` should warn about this. It would be good to have a little more
information here as well.

Maybe something like this (minimal variant):

(synopsis "Extract CAB files from InstallShield installers")
(description
 "@command{unshield} is a tool and library for extracting @file{.cab}
 archives from InstallShield installers.")

If this software works with the "normal" .cab files commonly found in MS
Windows systems, it would be good to encapsulate that information too.
Otherwise LGTM.
